Hermie: A Common Caterpillar {Review}

Written by well-known author Max Lucado, Hermie has been a beloved kid's character for quite some time. However, this was our first exposure to the series. And we were absolutely delighted with this book.

Right away I was amazed to see the story tell how Hermie talks to God and God speaks back to him. This is the exact concept we've been sharing with our 6 and 4 year old. How God to speak to our hearts. Friends Hermie and Wormie go through the book together, noticing how so many other creatures have been make beautiful, but they're "just common." Throughout their story, God speaks to them about how he loves them nonetheless and still isn't finished with them yet. I bet you can guess where this one is going. :-)

Hermie: A Common Caterpillar is written in a Level Two format, perfect for those beginning readers in your home. The words are accessible and the story repeats for continued reinforcement. The illustrations are bright and colorful, and the story is very age appropriate. We were very delighted with this selection.
